I would say horror, cheesy horror can work, and if you have the goods you can really make people shiver, Low budget ametuer comedy movies ussually come out cr** and just funny because your laughing at them, like 'omg these people actually think there funny', I would never do comedy because you reall...

I thought that was pretty good, I ussually would use practical effects,but sometimes with the lighting and that, it wont all pick up well on camera, But that indeed is amazing, great for a poster of some sort, or maybe a crime scene photo, were using them (photoshop-altered crime scene images) in ou...

I started to film a western and it was looking rather good, we gave up on it because of ideas, not the scenery. We filmed it mostely in the countryside, as that works just as well, it would have to be more of a 'outlaw josey wales' movie rather than a 'few dollars more' type of movie in terms of sce...

Just photocopy notes, its illegal but if you keep it quiet while filming and destroy the notes when your finished should be fine. its ony really illegal and dodgy if you attempt to use the notes to pay for things, so I dont see the harm there

http://www.bbguns.co.uk/836_2.html not a bad site, a little pricey tho

Looks pretty good, Keep it up, some good athletes you got there. Its allways nice to see a low budget film with good, beleivable stunts, I would pay to see

Does look very good, screenshots are impressive, good locations and Indie looks to be pretty accurate aswell, I will look forward to seeing this, as Indie was my childhood hero and i spent countless hours wearing hats, swinging from tree to tree with a whip screaming 'Give me the idol!!!', yes, thos...

Thanks, were you just messing me? man I've had a hot day, sometimes I really cant tell who is a jerk and who is a good joker,lol, but yeah its doing good, Sorry, still a little annoyed at Spoon for having a go when its not needed.

Dosent that defeat the object of a documentry?, Unless your making a Docu-Movie then thats a little diffrent, but a basic documentary is supposed to be non-fiction.

lol, Indeed its taken from the origanal short film that was used to raise money for 'Evil dead', but this was the title that suited it it best. You mention the fact that its a rip off of an old Raimi idea, I guess you didnt notice that the movie is indeed inspired by Blair witch/Last broadcast, ahh ...

Ahh, how could I forget, Tom Savini and Chris Stavrakis' Commentary for Dawn if the Dead (1978), I'm sure more will come to me.

ok the movie is finished and its coming to VCD soon, so I'm quite exited and will hopefully have the trailer up soon

I do Radio and In acting often play american parts, Plus My party peice is Don Lafontaine, so I can do it, incase you dont know, he is the classic 'trailer voice'.

Stream it into Acid pro 4 and add the 'Ear candy' filter, or the 'late night radio' filter, they both work a treat

Ok download something like 'wavepad' for free at www.download.com, then hook up a mic and get 2 kitchen (butchers) knives, this works perfectly, and if your editing you can watch what you have filmed while you are doing it, so the sounds are in time, this works perfect, I used it before on an old Ra...

Ebay, or a television Surplus store, there arent many around, but they exist, some good deals on that kind of equipment

I gather my samples and what not, then Mix and edit it to fit my film/production in Acid Pro 4, then save it and render it to Wav or Mp3, easy really. Takes some time to get used to it, but well worth the results.

My personal list: 1.Evil dead 2 (campbell,speigel,Raimi and Nicotero) 2.Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Hansen,Pearl and Hooper) 3.Evil dead (Campbell) 4.Joyride (Zahn/sobieski/Dahl) 5.Evil Dead 3 (Campbell and Raimi) 6.From Dusk Till Dawn (Rodriquez and QT)-QT's first commentary 7.Mallrats (Smith/Affleck/...

Stunts are a good way to keep in shape, Ive been practising for about 3 years now and its been a good time. Looks very good on camera aswell. I am considering going into professional trainig/work as a stuntman, but we'll see. I've done plenty of high risk Stunts for various projects and its a great ...

you need really a Pinnacle systems Movie box(firewire, the cards are cheap), It works great, capture from VHS, DV, and pretty much any other analogue camera, works a treat, set me back a bit tho at £160, but well worth it.

that works well, I dont use premier that much, but I found capturing from my HI8 camera with a blank cassette, its alot more authentic, I think. But hey, if that works for you, go for it.

dont laugh, but at the moment I'm using studio 9, I do have Premier 6.5 and Pro, but at the moment, it does the trick for me. Our movies are really into traditional movie making, not so much of the special fx that adobe boasts. I'm not knocking it, its very good, but at the moment, its not really fo...

The sticky stuff does indeed work best, its a little messy granted, but the results are indeed im pressive, Great pic btw. I use golden syrup and red food colouring, with a little blue mixed in so its not too orangy, Karo syrup works aswell, and unlike many blood recipes, it dosent taste like s***, ...

I'm doing a documentry right now about Wrestling, check it out in 'Member Films'. or go to (www.freewebs.com/upcomingmovie). But yeah documentarys are great and quite easy to be honest. A great way to learn an editing program aswell, when making a documentary you probably end up using all the effect...
